removeGadgetFromDashboard

THE RISK

Critical Risk

Removing a gadget from a dashboard destroys its placement and configuration. While the underlying data is not deleted, the dashboard customization is lost and typically cannot be automatically restored, making this a destructive action. Severity is medium because it affects only dashboard layout, not core business data.

From the tool's definition 'Remove gadget from Jira dashboard' — removing a gadget is an irreversible deletion of the gadget configuration from the dashboard.

HOW TO CONTROL REMOVEGADGETFROMDASHBOARD

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Atlassian Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for removeGadgetFromDashboard:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "removeGadgetFromDashboard"
  ]
}

removeGadgetFromDashboard disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register MCP Atlassian Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
